    I still try to cash out so that after fees I end up with at least £20 - it's been slow for me the last few months. Last June (with the referendum and associated studies) I cashed out £80, recently I'm lucky if I can do £20 in two months :(

    I am no historian...but I am pretty sure the referendum was in 2016...:eek:

    We had an election. I think.

    I've had enough of elections. Despite my dislike of the Tories and my wanting them out. But that is for a different time and place :)

    Oh that's the one, yes - it was an election. Good for surveys, bad for just about everything else!

    Ive had 4 surveys since I got back from work, not bad at all.

    Out of interest - what is others approach to cashing out? .


    At the moment it is as soon as I get to £20 as that is taking ages to reach. Last year I was tending to cash out 40-100 but that was probably taking less time to accumulate than the 20 quid now. there was such a good flow of studies there was always a bit more pending. You are having much better luck than me with the studies this year.

    Out of interest - what is others approach to cashing out? As I approach my 2nd year on Prolific I've had some experience of it, I think my largest was £40 or so. I usually do it when I hit £20 to avoid fees - but right now I am on 25 with a further 7 pending....and no major need to cash out right now (tis my birthday on Thursday and the good bank of mum and dad have sent me funds as a gift).

    I cash out once a month. I do the same with all my bits of extra earning - here, my other 2 regular non survey earning sites, cashback, Bank rewards and an employer shopping scheme.

    Done all sorts of methods over the years but it now makes me feel richer to have it all in one go (and hopefully smash my target on 1st of the month), sad that I am :rotfl: If I'm on target this is then enough to get the bonus on a savings account via minimum deposit and I've never failed yet. Anything above that goes to a treat fund.

    When I used to do it in dribs and drabs it was just swallowed up in general spends.

    Still seems to be slightly less then before - but it still smashes other survey sites. While I estimate Prolific is 25 a month or so for me, Swagbucks I am lucky to get 10, Opinion Outpost would probably be around 10....Populous and YouGov pay well but is not as frequent...Global Test Market is duller then an evening with a bloke called Keith (have you ever met an interesting Keith?)

    Registration for a study 6pm tomorrow, 2 hours webcam £12

    I clicked on the last slot in this wave, but I'm going to have to stop without completing in the next 8 minutes as I can't commit to 2 hours.

    Did anyone request a payout to Circle yesterday and not receive it? I know they say can take up to 5 days but I've always received mine the same day before. Also, is there anywhere on the Prolific site where you can see your payment history...can't see anything but praps just having a senior blonde moment!! Thanks :)

    Payments are sent to circle on Tuesdays and Fridays, usually around 2pm but sometimes earlier. What time yesterday did you cash out Mir!? If you missed yesterdays cut off, next run should be on Friday.
